Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Sports Medicine
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Tendon injuries frequently result from repetitive stress during athletic activities or daily routines.
  • Decades of research have significantly expanded the understanding of tendon pathophysiology.
  • Overuse injuries represent a substantial clinical challenge in sports and occupational health.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To synthesize current knowledge on tendon structure and biomechanics.
  • To elucidate the mechanisms underlying overuse tendon injuries.
  • To review contemporary approaches to tendon injury rehabilitation.

Main Methods:

  • Comprehensive literature review of recent scientific publications.
  • Analysis of studies focusing on tendon histology, biomechanics, and injury etiology.
  • Evaluation of evidence-based rehabilitation protocols for tendon disorders.

Main Results:

  • Tendon injuries are linked to alterations in extracellular matrix composition and cellularity.
  • Mechanical overload disrupts the delicate balance between tendon synthesis and degradation.
  • Rehabilitation strategies emphasize progressive loading and tissue remodeling.

Conclusions:

  • A thorough understanding of tendon biology and mechanics is crucial for managing overuse injuries.
  • Early and appropriate rehabilitation is key to restoring tendon function and preventing re-injury.
  • Continued research is needed to optimize treatment outcomes for diverse tendon pathologies.
